  4. Add flour to adjust the consistency as needed *see video demonstration
  5. Turn out to a lightly floured surface and continue to knead until it is no longer super sticky to your hands of the table
  6. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl covered and let rise to double in a warm spot
  7. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 12" x 18" and about ½" thick
  8. Brush with melted oil and then spread evenly with the sugar filling mixture
  9. Roll up then cut into desired portions
  10. Place them in a lightly oiled sheet pan spaced 2" apart and let rise again covered in a warm spot. 35 - 60 minutes depending on the conditions in your area
  11. Once they are light and fluffy and puffy bake in a preheated 350°F oven for approx 25 - 45 minutes depending on the size of your buns * see video demonstration
  12. While the buns are baking you can prepare the cream cheese icing recipe
  13. Cool slightly then top generously with Cream Cheese Icing
Notes
Like any yeast pastry they will go stale before they go bad.

I store them in an airtight container at room temperature *even with the cream cheese icing 

**the vegan version does not go sour even at room temperature overnight and through the next day- use your judgement if you are using regular cream cheese icing - you may want to store the buns in the refrigerator however it will make the bun hard, so I like to keep them at room temperature
